It’s unclear how exactly this latest move will fit into Xiaomi’s overall strategy, but chances are it could soon start offering an array of mHealth devices to the ever growing Chinese economy. Moreover, we may see them launching something similar to Apple’s HealthKit platform, allowing Xiaomi device owners to keep track of their vitals from compatible (Xiaomi) smartphones and tablets.

Meanwhile, the so called “Apple of China” will soon start offering its own fitness and sleep tracking device, Mi Band, which will be available (at least in China) for as little as $12.
